# Event Details - **Event Name**: Film Screening: Tambu - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 04:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us at Flatbush Library March 28th at 3PM for a screening of Dr. Laurie Lambert’s film Tambu.About this EventTambu is a documentary exploring TambuFest, a day-long celebration of drumming and dance in Jamaica. TambuFest was conceived of and produced by University of Pennsylvania anthropologist Deborah A. Thomas, musician Junior “Gabu” Wedderburn, and Dr. Nicholas Ferguson, a medical doctor and drummer. The word “tambu” is used throughout the African Diaspora to describe various drumming traditions and styles. The film highlights how Jamaican folk practitioners create community spaces through prayer, the sharing of food, drumming, song, and dance. Combining footage from the TambuFest festival, with documentary film from plantation ruins in Eastern Jamaica, slave dungeons in Ghana, and archival photographs, the film considers how these drumming and dance rituals remember African Diasporic histories of slavery, indenture, and survival. The film foregrounds the intergenerational character of the festival and the ways that Caribbean drumming and dance practices—and by extension Caribbean histories—are taught and transformed between elders and younger people. Through dance performances we see how cultural memory and continuity are captured in movement. Forms such as kumina, kromanti, dinki-mini, and djembe drumming represent important sites of African retention, with clear connections to West Africa and lyrical references to the plantation. These traditions narrate the past physical displacement of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, while also representing ongoing resistance to cultural displacement.

By 1907, when the collection became an official BPL branch, more than 60% of Borough Park’s population was foreign-born or first-generation American, with many Germans, Italians, Jews, Poles and Russians residing in the neighborhood. The busy branch was moved to 13th Avenue in 1926, but soon outgrew this new space. On November 28, 1955, the present-day branch opened on 43rd Street with a collection of 53,000 books, nearly double the holdings of the former location." } ] } ] ```
